"We didn't have linear fusions in the Dark Age. But we made it work." —The Drifter

"Nah. Dark Age version was better."

"You and I remember the Dark Age differently."

"I'll take a hard projectile over energy any day. No better way to make sure the target is dead."

"Energy is for silencing barriers. Fists are all I need to administer blunt-force trauma."

"I forget you used to be a Warlord."

"What do you mean 'used to?'"

"I thought you'd thrown in with Saladin and Felwinter."

"I did. But I never stopped being me."

"Then why—"

"'Warlord' is too many syllables."

"Gambit needs more candidates like you. Should stop by sometime. Whatever you want to call yourself."

"Thank you. You're a liar and a cheat. Stay out of my Crucible."

Absolutely incredible in PVE, the end all to all majors. Amazing in PVP but the slow charge rate hurts it when compared to deadlier fusions.

Ever since Season of Dawn, my life hasn't been the same.
I'm still haunted by getting constantly Arbamolested.
The sound of it charging-up plagues my dreams.
I tremble and shake at the memory of it, such that I cannot walk without supports.
And even so, the sight of my crutches remind me of this unholy gun.

6/10 it's ok i guess.

SonOfCarl2332 @ 5/21/2019 PVE PVP
PvE: Outstanding for any Nightfall activity or encounter with shielded enemies. The increased damage from Distortion Break leads to very low TTK on majors.

PvP: Very long charge time makes it tricky to use, Distortion Break can't be used to its full potential. You'd be better served with a shotgun or sniper rifle.

Atlecx @ 5/21/2020 PVE PVP
Amazing gun in every mode. Destroys majors and is the king of medium-long range in PVP

IronicPug @ 10/12/2019 PVE PVP
a sniper that doesn't obey sniper rules

Glomo900 @ 9/27/2019 PVE PVP
Sniper rifle that cuts supers and makes people sad.


Thundercrash mains galore!

R0yalplatypus @ 5/29/2019 PVE PVP
Very good in PvE. Say goodbye to those shanks in Zero Hour, they won't annoy you much longer. In PvP, it's a very good gun, but the long charge will definitely make this gun harder to use. This thing shreds in Gambit, especially on Invasions. Overall, very cool and sexy gun.

Mark @ 5/10/2019 PVE PVP
PVE - Great job mainly to break shield on the new quest
pvp + gambit = you are the boss with this

Bloodwolf42 @ 4/26/2019 PVE PVP
Fits exactly the niche it's supposed to. Feels nice and snappy, and smears shielded majors. Charge time is pretty quick. Pokes Guardians in Crucible nicely if you can account for the charge time.

Miyuki @ 4/25/2019 PVE PVP
PvM: Does what it's supposed to.

PvP: Flinches just as hard or worse than a sniper and requires timing your shot and using tracking aim, just use a sniper.

SilverGallium @ 10/27/2020 PVE PVP
In PvE, this thing is exactly as good as you'd expect; it smashes almost any enemy's shield in one hit. It also does ridiculous damage on its own, but only if you hit an enemy's head.

In PvP, it's just a Sniper Rifle with a charge-up time. That being said, it's your best option for getting the Komodo since Special ammo is more plentiful than Power.
0
Thunder Blitz @ 8/5/2020 PVE PVP
This gun obliterates everything in PVE. Very convenient to use in The Whisper, Zero Hour, Scourge of the Past, Leviathan and most strikes or raid missions.

It's no Aggressive Frame sniper in PVP but not quite a bad choice as a backup for your auto rifle, hand cannon and SMG.
0
OmegaFlare @ 7/5/2020 PVE PVP
This weapon is great in pve, it takes out shielded enemies easily and getting consecutive precision hits against bosses lowers their hp by a good amount
But in pvp, I can't really recommend this unless you're very good at getting precision kills, but body shots leave enemy players with very low hp so just swap to your energy weapon and finish them
0
Evtyy Shadow @ 1/15/2021 PVE PVP
Definitely good in PvE, great against majors and match game enemies.

In PvP, this thing is a nightmare. I'm not sure how it is on PC but on console this thing has the biggest hotbox in the game. It's charge time is relatively low compared to other linear fusions which makes it even more competitive. It's a sniper rifle that has a low zoom, huge hotbox and pre-fire capability. This is one of the EASIEST special weapons to use in the game. Pls nerf bungo.

Colonel Drax @ 3/5/2019 PVE PVP
Looks to be the solution to Match Game in Nightfall strikes. Who needs optimized loadouts when you can run a gun that breaks all shields.
